The right-wing is going to have a field day with this.

Its sad that peoples first thoughts are what will the right think of this?

That's sad. Look up Kitty Genovese (sp?) is you want to see how bad Bystander Effect can get.

Looking this up the article that claimed nobody did anything was wrong...

the 43-year-old chief product officer of MobileCoin walked up to a parked car that had its hazard flashers on to try to get help, according to surveillance footage obtained by the San Francisco Standard. Footage showed Lee lifted his shirt to show the driver his two stab wounds but collapsed to the ground as the car drove off.

i mean, picture yourself in this situation. are you really gonna get out of your car and get involved in whatever the dude with two stab wounds is tangled up in or are you going to get the fuck out of there as fast as you can?

How's about opening the passenger door, getting the wounded human being into your car and then getting the fuck out of there as fast as you can?

Easy to say from behind a computer screen. Would you actually do that if you actually were in that situation? Doubt it. Self-preservation takes over. You see a stabbed man coming up to you, you'll probably want to get out of the area lest you get stabbed yourself. Don't see why anyone couldn't at least call 911 tho.

I've had a dude come at me with a knife. It's scary as fuck.

So your saying that if you got stabbed and you came up to my car for help it's OK for me to just drive off and leave you to bleed out on the curb? Nah dude that ain't right. I'd open the door help in and take the person to the hospital like a decent person.

Everyone always says this shit but nobody really knows how they'll react in a crisis. It's easy enough to speculate whn you're comfortably browsing on CE, but it's another when almost 3am and you're out in the dark on the cold streets sitting in your car doing who knows what and suddenly some dude pops up out of nowhere covered in blood and starts pleading at you.

You know who says this?

People that have never seen a knife used for anything other than to cut food.

People desperately trying to justify being cowards. I've had knives pulled on me and I've seen a buddy get stabbed. Know what I didn't do? Leave him bleeding on the ground while I ran like a coward.

If someone came up to me covered in blood at 3am, I would definitely call 911. But that's about all I'm doing, I'm not trained to help in that situation and I doubt I'm going to getting him to the hospital any quicker than calling an ambulance and having professionals take over.

For people saying to help, its not the smartest decision. There are people who pretend to be hurt or whatever just to get people to get out of a car to help, only to ambush them, take their car, and possibly kill them. They even had people who would lay in the middle of the road to get you to stop. Even if you didnt het out of the car, they would try to break you window or shoot you. In this case, for all you know, the wounds could have been fake or shallow, and he could have been planning to kill/stab you. Or the stabber could have been close by Calling the cops and waiting it probably fine But getting out or letting him in might not be Though, if they recognized him, they may have been more willing to help And if they actually knew him, they most likely would have helped, as that changes things

This is different. You actually knew the person. How do I know I wont get stabbed. It sounds like they didnt see him get stabbed. So, how would they know he didnt stab himself. Or the person who stabbed him wasnt close by Your situation was very different from this one So, of course you would act differently. Most people who saw their buddy get stabbed wouldnt leave them But this situation is different

Not to mention the ambulance can help to stabilize him in the way tk the hospital, as well Having him get in the car wouldnt actually help at all So, this makes sense

Democracy is grand. It turns out you get exactly what you vote for.

Yikes

me thinks you didnt say this about Ashley Babbitt

Can someone cite a source that isn't the NY Shitpost? Everything I read prior to this topic was that he was stabbed. The "bystanders not helping" angle hadn't been discussed up to this point.
